Requesting Jury Trial to Fight Ticket

Before you can determine whether you can request a jury trial for a ticket for passing with insufficient clearance and ignoring traffic flow, you must first determine if the offence for which you received a ticket is one that can be fought in court.  Some tickets cannot be challenged in court.  It depends upon the laws in your jurisdiction.  Read the front and back of your ticket carefully to determine if you have the right to contest it. If you have the right to contest the ticket, this does not mean that you have the right to a jury trial.  Your right to a jury trial also depends upon the laws in your jurisdiction.  Jury trial are usually reserved for cases in which jail time is a possible penalty or if the potential fine is over a set limit.

Consultation with a lawyer familiar and experienced in traffic violations will give you a better idea of your right to a jury trial and the possibility of being successful fighting your ticket.
